Tryouts?

[Mei stares past the Forge, towards the poster that is advertising for entertainers.]

Do you think they'd let me? [Age always seems to get in the way here...

She lifts a dagger curiously.] I could use some practice.

Is anyone else going to be going? Scar-san? Riza-san?

No, not me, Mei. I don't think I'd be much of an entertainer.

You should try though. As long as it isn't too dangerous, I'm sure you'd be allowed.

[pandamaiden]

Really...?

I don't think there is any danger... but I will be sure to be careful.

[firebornfidelis]

I don't have any skills in that area. I wouldn't really know how to keep people's attention, I suppose.

Good. It's probably safe, but it never hurts to be careful.

[pandamaiden]

You don't think so?

[ voice ]

[firebornfidelis]

No, I'm not very good at that sort of thing.

But I'm sure you would be. Maybe Xiao-Mei can be part of your act, too. I'm sure the audience would love you both.

[pandamaiden]

You're right! Xiao-Mei would make a very good helper.

Thank you, Riza-san.
